Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Rarely has a "best-of" package been so aptly (or so admirably) named. While never quite able to shake off the inevitable ABBA comparisons, Sweden's Roxette have, indeed, worked to a fairly simple blueprint over the course of their 13-year career: simple, workmanlike songs with insistent hooks; occasionally daft lyrics--sounding, at times, like a cruel parody of Europop--and slick, radio-friendly production. In terms of commercial success, the result--over 40 million records sold--speaks for itself. Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson first came to international attention with two singles, "The Look" and "Dressed For Success"--the latter, perhaps the most naked declaration of intent since the Pet Shop Boys' "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)". The careful placement of "It Must Have Been Love" in the Pretty Woman soundtrack didn't exactly hurt their careers either, and from that point on their fame was assured. Later efforts ("June Afternoon", one of four new tracks included here) have hinted at the influence of Prince, but why change a winning formula? --Andrew McGuire

5.0 out of 5 stars Now Get To The Chorus!!!!!!! 11 July 2005
By D.A.C
Format:Audio CD
This was the 1st Roxette album that i bought and it didn't come out of the CD player for 6 months.Still a favourite of mine this has nearly all of their singles from 1988-1996.The only thing it is missing is their 1st ever single 'Neverending Love'
1.June Afternoon-Great track very poppy and fun.5/5

2.You Don't Understand Me-One of the best Roxette ballads it has great lyrics and a powerful vocal from marie 5/5

3.The Look-their 1st massive worldwide hit.Still sounds great and very catchy.4/5

4.Dressed For Success-Not my favourite ever,but it's still a good pop song.but definately not their best 3/5

5.Listen To Your Heart-Excellent!Sounds slightly dated but this is a great power ballad and one they should be proud of....5/5

6.Dangerous-hmmmm....was never sure about this i seem to love it sometimes but sometimes hate it.a good pop song though and a big hit 3/5

7.It Must Have Been Love-DOES THIS REALLY NEED A REVIEW?5/5

8.Joyride-My favourite or one of.this is a fantastic song full of energy and their 4th U.S number one.5/5

9.Fading Like A Flower-another power ballad and an excellent song one of my favourite Roxette tracks 5/5

10.The Big L.-Always a strange one i thought.not quite sure what it wants to be.it sounds good though but not when you've got a headache 3/5

11.Spending My Time-could of been massive but wasn't.this is a great ballad with a good vocal.5/5

12.How Do You Do!-Yes.well.....O.k It's not as bad as alot of people would have you believe and it was a huge european hit.Just not one of their better moments 3/5

13.Almost Unreal-a very overlooked song it fell by the layby in the same way as How do and wasnt a massive hit but still a good enjoyable song 3/5

14.Sleeping in My Car-LOUD AND PROUD this has alot of energy and showed the world that they weren't to be messed with.5/5

15.Crash Boom Bang-one of their best ballads and one of their smallest hits this is excellent 5/5

16.Vunerable-an overlooked song from the crash boom album this is sung by Per and is as good as anything they have ever done 5/5

17.She Doesn't Live Here Anymore-an upbeat song recorded with Pers old band gyllene tider.this sounds fresh and very good 4/5

18.I Don't Want To Get Hurt-a very good song if a bit depressing at times.a gorgeous vocal and perfect lyrics this is a great way to end the album 5/5

OVERALL REVIEW-This shows every side to Roxette and is an excellent collection of songs.They should be proud!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Excellant! 26 Nov 2001
Format:Audio CD
If you love pop or soft rock, you will definitely love this album. Catchy choruses, upbeat melodies, silky vocals by Marie, pop songs with attitude are all here in this neat hits package. The album has classic songs like 'The Look', 'It Must Have Been Love', 'Joyride' and 'June Afternoon' which is one of Per Gessle's best composed song. Just buy the album!
